T.Shirt Twists and Turns: Upcycled Craft Workshop

About the workshop:

Come and craft a new necklace, fashion accessory, keyring or tote bag from recycled T.shirts.

Colourful unwanted op-shop surplus T.shirts twist and turn into up-cycled fabric yarn to weave, plait or bead. Fabric markers, scissors and and your imagination turn old Tshirts into fashionable new creations! This workshop is a relaxing and tactile experience, where you can unwind, focus your hands, and soothe your mind as you explore the calming joy of creating unique T.shirt Art.

About the artist:

Facilitated by Sarah Seahorse who is an award-winning multi-disciplinary artist, costume designer, craftivist and community artist. She specializes in fashion, headwear, and wearable art that serves as a powerful commentary on social, environmental, and political issues.

A self- described 'trash-troll', Sarah's commitment to sustainability is evident in her perpetual gleaning and repurposing of unwanted rubbish into works of art and beauty.

A firm believer in the transformative power of creative self-expression, Sarah aims to create inclusive spaces where people can engage in artistic activities outside of formal education. Her dedication to storytelling through recycled materials and wearable art reflects her belief in the potential of these mediums to express complex ideas and personal stories, particularly in collaborative or group contexts.
